NEUP CINR-18-14783: Nanodispersion Strengthened Metallic Composites with Enhanced Neutron Irradiation Tolerance

This project aims to study the neutron irradiation tolerance of nanodispersion strengthened composites produced by an innovative manufacturing method at low cost. The prolific internal interfaces between 1D/2D nanodispersions and the metal matrix provide radiation defect recombination venues to heal radiation damage. The success of this work will provide the novel concept of developing an innovative manufacturing method for advanced nuclear fuels and materials at low cost for long-term operation
